Chapter 87: Abuse of power for personal gain

Take a peek and see the whole leopard, you don't have to think about those irrelevant things, just know that everything at present is nothing but to endure it is to overturn and start over. But nothing can be done overnight, even if you think about it, it is impossible. At this time, Shi Bin finally felt the cuteness of the comedy in his previous life, and such a depressed feeling was very comfortable even if it was a few inferior jokes. But in such a position, you have to not smile, it is really full of anger but nowhere to vent.

Sitting in a chair and looking out the window at the cloudless sky, I really didn't have any mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery I had longed for in the haze world before. Although Shi Bin didn't think that he couldn't be selfless as a "son who loves the people", it was really embarrassing and indignant to see the people living like this while sitting on the county commander.

If you can't find a solution, then take the person who does this lack of morality, which is the most direct and effective way.

He was originally a soldier, and he didn't know so much etiquette, and after an order, the county magistrate and the hateful official were soon brought over.

The county Cheng seemed to know that there would be such a catastrophe long ago, even if he was dragged over by a few angry and obviously murderous soldiers, he did not panic at all, and the official was obviously a guy who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, and when he saw Shi Bin, he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Liu Xiancheng, I went to Jingzhou to do things in the past two days, and the affairs in the county have troubled you, now please tell me how much tax has come up in the past two days, and how to collect it?" Shi Bin asked with a 'kind' smile.

No one has ever thought that there is too much money, but it just depends on how the money is used, and Liu Xiancheng, the old man, has long understood.

Although this adult still has a little conscience and cares for the soldiers, the capital is these thousands of soldiers, and he can't lose to these soldiers if he loses anything. What's more, he asked if it was possible to raise taxes the day before, which implied that he needed money but didn't understand the situation.

In this case, it is safest to maintain the status quo. He also replied calmly and respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, I have collected a part of the 'consumed rice' in the city in the past two days, but most of it has not been collected. ”

Glancing at Liu County Cheng Shibin standing in front of him, he was quite impressed, and he should have known that he was going to give him some color when he entered the door, but he still looked like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and his eyes were not instantaneous. However, now is not the time to appreciate talents, but to ask for a solution to this harsh tax, and by the way, find a punching bag.

"In the past two days, my guards have told me an interesting thing, which is the name of the tax collected by the county." Shi Bin sneered and said, "Do you want to hear it?" Maybe you'll be familiar with it. ”

Sneering has long become commonplace for these small officials, maybe it is because of the fact that the human feelings are so happy and angry that they are invisible, or maybe they don't care about a yellow-mouthed martial artist at all, then Liu Xiancheng's face is not the slightest unhappy. Still calmly replied: "My lord, please say, as long as it is not new, the humble position should still be known." Although the humble position is not talented, it will not be a corpse vegetarian meal. ”

The old fritters' answers were decent, which made Shi Bin a little difficult to borrow the matter of consuming rice. Suddenly thinking of the official who was kicked over by Liu Xiancheng, Shi Bin immediately came to his senses. walked straight over and kicked at the servant who was resting on the side after kowtowing, and the person naturally kicked away, but obviously he didn't wake up, and he still lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Looking at such a waste Shi Bin really became more and more angry, and he wanted to kick that guy into meat sauce. Fortunately, he was able to control his emotions, so he was not prepared to kick him as a ball.

"This official heard that there are 'both wins and likes money' and 'two lawsuits are not won and fines', I don't know if there is such a thing? The names are very good and easy to understand, but why do you have to pay such strange fees if you haven't already paid the legal fees? ”

There was a great deal of surprise in his eyes, and the officer's eyes showed that he was looking at a human being with an underdeveloped IQ. However, these thousands of miles of being an official are only for money, and those who are unhappy to have a way to get rich and push money out of the door can only be explained by intellectual retardation now.

Thinking that Shi Bin was a pure butcher without brains, although the official was bold, he became bolder, and began to educate Shi Bin, smiling and flattering: "Lord County Commander, you are wrong to blame the villain." Those uncivilized untouchables knew that they could make trouble even if they lost an egg, and they could make trouble in the yamen, and the previous county commanders were so tired that they couldn't sleep. Those who lose the lawsuit know how to curse adults, and those who win the lawsuit don't know how to be grateful to Dade, and it is too unkind to leave. That's why there is this collection name, which is what the villain came up with after months of hard thinking. ”

Seeing that Shi Bin did not express his position, but walked thoughtfully while touching the few unshaved beards on his chin, the official ignored the eyes of the county Cheng, and still explained vigorously: "My lord, I know that you are a hero of the anti-Yuan Dynasty, but that is a military attache all the way, and now it is a civil official all the way, and things are much more troublesome." You only need to use grain and grass to fight, but this grain and grass are raised by civilian officials, how can there be any such thing as asking horses to run and horses not to eat grass? ”

Listening to this shameless servant still talk so much about corruption, Dao Shibin wanted to kill him on the spot, but keeping this crooked melon could also be a signpost, so he had to endure it again. But I really didn't want to see his shameless appearance, so I kicked him out again, but he still left with a smile.

"Liu Xiancheng, you are from the imperial examination, you must know much better than that shameless guy, please tell me."

"My lord, you shouldn't have been to Jingzhou in the past two days, just in this county, but you have changed your appearance and carefully observed me, right?" Liu Xiancheng looked at Shi Bin with a smile on his face and said.

Knowing that he had probably expected these Shi Bin to no longer hide it, he smiled a little helplessly: "Indeed." But I saw a lot of things that surprised the official. As far as I know, from Commander Jia Yidaojia, the 'consumption of rice' this year is only one stone, and the 'total money' is only 1,000 wen and 56 wen, but how did it become one stone and eight buckets and 100 wen. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiancheng affirmed that Shi Bin was not only a civil official for the first time, but also an official. Because he doesn't know how much more taxes are more than regular taxes, and how much more they must be. It's just like teaching a child who has just entered a private school to explain all the harsh taxes to Shi Bin, and even told who and why they want to collect them.

When he arrived here, Shi Bin finally understood why Liu Xiancheng, who was standing in front of him, was as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't feel worried about his anger at all, it turned out that there was a large group of people in the background that he couldn't afford to provoke.

He has a very good temper with people, and just when Shi Bin felt helpless, Liu Xiancheng ran out again to act as Zhiduoxing Wu Yong's advice, and said with a smile: "I heard that the lord is the virtuous son-in-law of General Jia, and I think I should be able to seek some help from him, such as exempting taxes for three to five years, or asking other prefectures and counties to help bear one or two." ”

It was not a big problem to ask his father-in-law for help, not to mention that he was already in charge of the Jinghu Road, and in the fifth year of Chunyou (1245), he served as the deputy envoy of the system along the Yangtze River as a direct scholar of Baozhang Pavilion, and the pacification envoy of Jiangzhou Zhizhou and Jiangxi Road. Within a year, he was again promoted to the envoy of Jinghu and the prefect of Jiangling, and Jia Rudao could flexibly control the rewards and punishments.

If this bad seed doesn't crawl, will it still be left to the sidelines? Anyway, there are not many good birds in the nearby county governors, so it is better to borrow Jia Yidao's hand to exempt or transfer his taxes to other prefectures and counties. has already made up his mind in his heart, but Shi Bin still refuses to say: "It is really inappropriate and inappropriate to use nepotism to engage in this abuse of power for personal gain." ”

"Of course, it's right, it's right, and it's very good, and adults have to do it... Liu Xiancheng said strongly and encouraged.

Liu Xiancheng said three birds with one stone, which could only make Shi Bin have to borrow the slope to get off the donkey to accept. The first is that the tax reduction in Xiangtan can allow the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties to gather, but in fact, it can save millions of people with the power of one person; The second is that population growth is a good thing for regional development, only in this way can we feed more troops to defend the country, and without population, everything is not to be discussed; The third is that if you can do these steps to be promoted, you can be crowned a marquis or even a king.

However, he only agreed in his heart, and he still insisted that he should not 'use power for personal gain'. Ginger is old and spicy, and wine is stale and fragrant. Before Shi Bin could finish his emotion, this time Liu Xiancheng was no longer subtle, but interrupted Shi Bin's words very rudely, and asked bluntly: "May I ask my lord, why do you command the elite of the 15th battalion of the county commander of a county?" If it's not a great good, it's a great evil, and if it's too hypocritical, it will be chilling. ”

At this time, I don't know why, I suddenly remembered the word 'calf' that Zhang Milong often used on his lips in "My Captain, My Regiment。。。。。

"I remember that you seemed to have done some business when you were the commander of Tanzhou, and you should also count it as using power for personal gain. Now it's just like opening a porridge shop to bring those refugees over, give them a place to live, and not starve to the wilderness. ”

"The words are reasonable, but the commander of Tanzhou was just doing what he could with the power in his hands at that time, and it did not affect others. Now that the county is asking me to encroach on the interests of my colleagues, is it a little inappropriate? Shi Bin asked.

"If you want to keep the elite of the 15th battalion, there is only one way, not to mention that you are also using your power for personal gain, in order to keep this man, right? You are also from Xiangtan, and I will send you a sentence of 'I don't smell the leftovers and fry three dogs', which is rude. After saying this, Liu Xiancheng swaggered away. Looking at this guy's back, Shi Bin couldn't get angry and reprimanded him for his rudeness. He, an old man, is really good at both doing things and protecting himself, and he has practiced kung fu perfectly.

Back in the bedroom, Jia Ling saw that Shi Bin looked embarrassed to speak, and immediately hid her face and smiled. teased Shi Bin and said, "Shi County Order, what makes you so shy?" I remember that my husband rarely twists and pinchs! ”

Saying this, Shi Bin was no longer embarrassed, but grabbed Jia Ling and said angrily: "If you don't do anything else, you will be a debt collector again." ”

"I want to praise you today, you dare to admit that you are a debt collector! But who told me that this man is willing to be collected by you? The two have not been so romantic for a long time, and today's love-filled conversation naturally made their ears grind. Regarding this method of 'using power for personal gain', Jia Ling praised Liu Xiancheng's wisdom, which can be regarded as a person who can do things, and thinks that if his virtue is good, he can also use it. As for the specific operation of 'using power for personal gain', Jia Ling will do it

Of course, this macho is not happy, but it can only be so in this difficult moment.
